Save the Date Cards

Save the date cards are the most formal way to ask guests to your upcoming wedding to "save the date" on their calendars. These cards typically feature wording, your wedding date, and often a photo of the two of you; the cards often coordinate with your upcoming wedding but it's perfectly acceptable to send a save the date card that simply expresses your style or personality (More on save the date etiquette).

Save the date cards are similar to postcards except that they are mailed inside an envelope. This lets you utilize the space on both the front and back of the card for photos, text, and details about your wedding date.

Designers have created thousands of save the date card designs that match any and every wedding style and personality you can imagine. Plus, if you can't find one you like, you can always design your own save the date card to create a truly personalized save the date card.

We currently feature cards from Zazzle where you'll find a great selection of save the date cards. These cards come in two sizes: 5" x 7" (rectangular) and 5.25" x 5.25" (square). Keep in mind that the square save the date cards will cost an extra $0.20 in postage per card to mail. The cards come in a variety of paper types including basic, felt, speckled, linen, recycled, and even metallic. Prices vary based on the design you choose and the number of cards you order (there is no minimum), but they are typically more expensive than save the date postcards but cheaper than save the date magnets.
